'Courses' module

In preparation for integration with the Federal learning account platform, the training module in Connect HR Office has been updated. When you create a course, you can now enter information that is important when registering courses to the government tool. Several more updates regarding FLA will follow.

This is an extension of the alternative approver functionality where you can also set up an alternative approver for requests within the training module. This alternative approver replaces the supervisor’s approval for a particular employee. You can set this up yourself via Admin > user management.

'Digital personnel file' module

From now on, the performance sheet for PC 140.035 can be fully digitally signed: 

• The HR employee can have the digital performance sheet prepared for one employee, a group of employees or the entire cohort of employees who meet the necessary criteria
• The document can be drawn up in the official language or the language used by the employee or employees
• It is easy for employees to sign digitally
• Comments can be entered digitally
• Throughout the process, notifications are built in to keep everything organised

You can now use one employee group for multiple applications. For example, you can use the same group to grant access to the portal (batch in service) as well as access to the calendar module. So no more duplicate employee groups!

A new report is available for expenses from Connect HR Office. This gives you a complete overview of all expenses submitted within a specified period. Navigate via MyAcerta to Reports Connect, where you will find the report under ‘Connect HR Office’.

You can set up an approval flow for each expense and calendar code. The “HR + specific person” is the latest flow to be added. In this case, an application will first be approved by an HR employee and then by a person in the organisation of their choice.

You may find that you need the ON number for yourself or your employees. To find it, all you need to do is go to that employee’s profile and look under their name.
